US Treasury yields hovered within familiar levels, with the yield on the 10-year note stuck around 1.50%, exacerbating USD/JPY range trading.

Japan published the April Tertiary Industry Index, which printed at -0.7% MoM, down from the previous 1.1%. On Tuesday, the country will publish the May Merchandise Trade Balance, expected to post a deficit of ¥91.2 billion and April Machinery Orders.
